Best Buy has a new iPhone trade-in deal that can't be beat‚ but it only lasts until Mother's Day, Sunday, May 11. For starters, both the iPhone 5C and 5S are 50 percent off at Best Buy stores. This means that the candy-colored iPhone 5C is down to $50 and the fingerprint-sensing iPhone 5S is $100 with a two-year contract on Sprint and Verizon only (no T-Mobile or AT&T, sorry).

But the real deal lies in Best Buy's updated trade-in program, which will now pay out more for your old iPhones. The devices must be in good working condition, and you must complete the trade in stores.

  • iPhone 5 = $200 back
  • iPhone 4S = $150 back
  • iPhone 4 = $100 back

At the current iPhone 5S price of $100, you could upgrade an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5S . . . for free!
